Helmet rollcage and long pants and top. also a fire ext is needed but they are $30 bucks from repco or autobarn

is a roll cage a requirement for one of these days?

any chance of using sandown, was planning on going to one at calder in the near future but winton is too far, especially if i break something and cant drive it home.

I reckon they should (and probably will) Bulldoze that shit hole poor excuse for a run down motor sport track. It's old, unmanaged and past it's used by date.

Victoria REALLY needs a new decent venue...

if someone was going to build a new venue it would have been done by now, its not so i cant see it happening, there fore if they bulldoze calder the only thing we have is sandown or winton, and winton is way too far.

Yeah winton is 2 hrs up the hume. I also wouldnt worry about braking your car because alot of the guys are happy to help out when that happens and alot of guys carry spares or tow their car up so you may even be able to find a lift back. Also you dont need a cage to drive.. you only need a cage if you are wanting to take passengers in ur car

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
